My Favorite Audience

Once, I remember speaking to a room with a thousand people in it.  The whole thing, I was told, went well.  Thing is, I don’t remember a single face, a single expression, or a single applaud.  I do, however, remember that every time I sat and talked with my memaw, I felt like the most important person in the world.  Even better, I didn’t just feel it in those moments, I still feel the warmth of that stage.
